100% Melon de Bourgogne. Gras Moutons is one of Pépière's classic bottlings, from a lieu-dit in the cru of Monnières-St. Fiacre. The soils are gravelly and sandy,with little clay, rich in decomposed amphibolites and gneiss. Recently, Pépière was able to add 4 hectares of it to their holdings and is bottling it separately as "Le Repos du Mouton" until these parcels are fully converted to biodynamic farming. Vineyard work including harvest is manual.

As for all Pépière wines, the whole bunches are direct-pressed very gently. The juice settles naturally in steel tanks for 12 hours. It is fermented spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The young wine is moved by gravity to large underground tanks of glass-lined cement. Le Repos 2022 was aged for 15 months on the lees and then for a year in bottle.
